WREXHAM FC bosses say they’ve thrashed out an agreement which means the fans’ takeover of the club should be “rubber stamped” next week.

Current owner Geoff Moss and the Wrexham Supporters Trust have been locked in tense talks after the Football Association said they’d not satisfied requirements for the deal to be finalised.

But last night there was a breakthough – with both Moss and the WST saying they’d found a way to satisfy the football governing body’s demands.

Neither side could disclose the terms of their agreement, but the sticking point over the last few weeks has been that the FA wanted all assets and liabilities for the 2006 company covered, so the new owners would not be liable. Moss had dug his heels in and offered £100,000 for future contingent liabilities - which the FA had rejected.

It was feared the fans’ takeover could collapse unless the final hurdle could be overcome. Last night a joint statement released on the club website was entitled: “Agreement is reached between club and WST”. It read: “The Directors and WST are pleased to announce that the last remaining issues between the two parties have now been resolved and all matters are now agreed.

“A joint proposal drawn up by our lawyers will now be put to the Football Association (FA) for their final approval, which we hope, based on previous dialogue with the FA, will be acceptable. We would propose to make a further announcement early next week.”

It concludes: “We hope this will be the start of a new era that brings stability to the club and gives us the momentum to gain promotion this season back to the Football League.”

Moss, who was travelling on the team bus for last night’s FA Cup tie at Cambridge United, told the Daily Post: “I hope it will just be rubber stamped.”

The WST is also optimistic, with director Spencer Harris saying: “It has been such a long journey but we are hopeful that what we will now put to the FA will satisfy all their requirements. It’s in their hands now.

“Hopefully we are on the cusp of a new dawn for the club.

“If and when the FA do ratify it, that’s when the real hard work will begin. We will do the best we can for Wrexham FC and the fans. We will just have to wait and see.”
